She was wearing her abaya on that show and it was pretty tough

Our friends at Business Insider make note of an interesting exchange on "Morning Joe" Tuesday morning regarding former "Parker Spitzer" host Kathleen Parker:

[Host Mika] Brzezisnski: "I'm so glad to see her emerging on a number of different fronts.  Obviously she has her column.  I'm so glad she's done with that, blech! That situation wherever she was before.  An unnamed network."

Said Mike Barnicle: "She was brutalized in her prior professional experience!"

Said Tina Brown: "She was wearing her abaya on that show and it was pretty tough."

If you're not familiar with the term "abaya," Merriam-Webster defines it thusly:

a loose-fitting full-length robe worn by some Muslim women
